Help

Some parents are having trouble posting a comment. I don't know what the problem is. Could one of you parents post a comment and tell me how to do it. Do you have to sign up to an account at Google to do that?

Well my bolgging 101 lesson came from Janet....Where r u Janet, ur always the first to blog. You definately have to sign up to google because it will not let you post anything until you do that. Its easy though, I put in my comcast email, then picked a password, then you have to go through the steps it tells you. You can follow the blog but unless your name appears at the top you will not be able to leave a message. You can get fancy with it and add a photo to your name, you can change the email to a name or you can just leave it like it is.

Hope all is well with everyone. I look forward to hearing the updates and seeing new pictures, it is very exciting!

La Giraudière

Our "home away from home" in France

Lasting Impressions - A Painting Adventure

This painting adventure is open to St. Agnes Upper School art students with a love for oil painting and the outdoors. We will travel to France and spend five days in Paris and the surrounding area. We will visit museums, walk in the footsteps of the French Impressionists, tour Versailles, and travel by train for a day visit to Rouen and Giverny, the home and gardens of Claude Monet.

On the sixth day of our trip we will board a train and travel to Angers in the Loire Valley, the chateau region of France. For nine days we will stay in the French countryside at La Giraudière where we will paint en plein air and visit surrounding places of interest which include medieval castles, a chocolate factory, salt fields, and the longest sand beach in Europe at La Baule.

We will end our wonderful adventure back in Paris for one more night with a visit to the Eiffel Tower.
